I tried to find the answer to this in the Karma post, but it is a locked thread so?? Just an observation since I just joined a few days ago.What's the deal with the exhalt/smite button on your profiles? I see a karma thing at the bottom of my profile,but nothing else.Is this something that is earned after so many posts?

Basically, it is just a number that some people use for various reasons- usually when someone makes a good post I will hit them with a point, you just click "exalt" to add one and "smite" to subtract. Good trades/gifts also tend to make people's score go up over time. Anyone can use the "feature"
It really doesn't "mean" anything- your "score" is currently zero, but we have several great members with very low scores simply because they don't post very much

Yeah I get the whole concept, My question was why I do not have the "exhalt/smite "feature on my personal profile, that's all. Thanks

No worries!! What buttons are you missing?? Well I will try to explain. This all started when I noticed on everyone's profile,except my own ,at the bottom of the profile box on the left there are two things you can click on either exhalt or smite. I did not know the reason why? So I searched the forums and still could not find the anawer.Then as you pointed out,you can't see your own.I (duh!) guess if you could you would be giving yourself all kinds of points.Is that what it is? On some forums it is a ranking system.So all is well now thanks,I get it!! ;D

Ahh those "buttons", I can explain that too. One is for private messages, the others are for IM (messenger) info if you want people to be able to add you on such things. I don't use AIM much but MSN is usually on if I'm around. If you modify your profile to add IM contact info, they will show up, but it's optional Hope that helps!!

Anyone can exalt or smite your profile. We are just fond of exalting the good folks here.

Don't take the karma thing too seriously. If somebody gives you a good trade, gives you free seed, you "exalt" their krama. Smite is if they rip you off on a deal, do you bad. Fortunately, we have had very few people here who would rip people off, and they don't last long. Mabudon and the other moderators would not have it, I am sure!
In fact, I think you will find there are lots of good folks here, people who will give you seed free, plants free, lots of good advice, trade plants or sell them at reasonable prices. We have all been in the beginner phase, and are thankful for the good folks here who added to our collection free of charge. People here are quite generous.

Hi there, No I don't take it seriously at all, ;D I guess sometimes when you post on here your intent gets confused.I didn't mean to turn this into an "international incident" lol. I just wanted an answer to my original question. You are correct,there are lots of very friendly,knowledgable people on this forum and I am happy I found it.As you know ,so many forums are either in the US or the UK .So it is really great to have a group of people with the same interests so close to home.Although most of the members on here are from eastern Canada,I hope in the spring I will be able to take part in the trade/sale threads, or perhaps meet with some other peeps from BC. Thanks for your input!

That's funny, I like it and was considering bumping her up a point for it, clapping raccoon is pretty slick
